Chapter 958: Anomaly (4)

Wu Ling glanced at the thin man, "The cursed mirror you believed in before ......"

The thin man's expression stiffened.

"Not many people know, and there are many versions that are known to those who know, and even fewer who believe that the mirror has a curse and that the ghost of the dead man stays on the mirror. So, if it weren't affected by your abilities, that mirror wouldn't have special powers and wouldn't form a spirit. In other words, if it is a well-known ghost story, some people believe and some people don't, it is possible to produce spirits, but because of the different emotions of so many people, the spirits produced will become very unstable, and sometimes it is impossible to capture their existence at all. He could appear, kill someone who believed in him, and then disappear completely. Wait until the second time, someone has done something to make him appear again. Wu Ling said, "Moreover, unstable spirits cannot be destroyed. They don't even have a fixed form of existence, and there is no possibility of being wiped out at all. ”

I suddenly thought of something, and glanced at Nangong Yao, "If that game ...... There are still many people who like games, online games, mobile games, and games of all kinds...... Is it possible for such a spirit to reappear? ”

Nangong Yao nodded, "Yes, it is possible that there is a spirit related to the game in this world right now, but it is not the one you destroy." The one you destroy is attached to a game disc, a game that was popular in the past, and absorbs similar ideas, forming a spirit, and as the game becomes outdated, it forms a certain character...... This may not be the case with another spirit related to games. ”

Guo Yujie asked a little naively: "So, whether it is a spirit or a ghost in this world, it is impossible to destroy it?" ”

"yes." Gu Mo replied lazily, "People always have to die, and there is always such a thing." ”

It's a frustrating reality.

Gu Mo uses the analogy of human death, which I think is more like a crime. There are laws, there are police, but there will still be people who commit crimes. Thousands of years ago, someone would kill a stranger for a bite of meat, and now someone will kill a stranger for one or two hundred dollars.

This is an inevitable thing, a catastrophe that cannot be eradicated.

The atmosphere was low for a while.

The main reason is that the four of us are a little down, Chen Xiaoqiu looks fine, and the three people in Aoba have no reaction.

"There are different formations and states of spirits, and this gives rise to an assumption." Wu Ling naturally brought the topic back on track, "The guide you met should be carrying out that idea. He wanted to make himself the new spirit of Huixiang. ”

I sat up straight, my surprise indescribable.

What he is doing is changing the perception of Huixiang people. He restrained and commanded the ghosts of Huixiang, and then influenced the people of Huixiang. The impact has been slow, though. Decades or centuries require many generations of subtle changes, as well as the cooperation of the social environment. In addition, it is the original spirit of Huixiang that will not sit idly by. The Zhou family's Chenghuang may not be as free as the guide, but he was able to fulfill his original duty to make people's wishes and prayers dissipate the haunting ghosts. ”

When Wu Ling said this, I thought of the story that the taxi driver told about his childhood, although I don't know if it's true or not, but when his mother suspected that he saw something unclean, he went to burn incense, and he himself casually mentioned the local City God Temple. This is what Wu Ling said, a kind of mind that can form a spirit.

"Because of history, coincidence, etc., there are some concepts that are common everywhere. This kind of thinking will also be particularly strong. Minqing also has a City God Temple, but the City God Temple in Minqing does not have the addition of historical sages like Huixiang, but is just a simple concept of City God. Therefore, the City God Temple in Minqing does not have much supernatural power. Wu Ling said, "The Chenghuang Temple in Huixiang has the bonus of the sages of the Zhou family in history, so it is also subject to this power." When the Zhou family was no longer so glorious and great, the local city god also lost its strength. That's what you can see, the hill where the ancestral tomb of the Zhou family is located has collapsed, the Zhou family is finished, and the city god is finished. ”

Wu Ling's exposition reminded me of all the things that happened in Huixiang.

Mr. Zhou, a descendant of the Zhou family, had an indecent private life, his illegitimate son killed him, and was controlled by the guide to go to the ancestral grave of the Zhou family.

That's a blasphemy.

Whether it is an ancient concept or a modern concept, this is a dishonorable thing, a violation of morality and law.

"The people in Huixiang don't know this." Chen Xiaoqiu said.

Wu Ling nodded, "But it doesn't matter." The Zhou family has become the concept of a city god in Huixiang. Many locals may not know the Zhou family, only the city god. The connection between the two is very close, but it is one-way. Huixiang people believe in Chenghuang, not the Zhou family; The Zhou family received some feedback, and the bloodline of the dead Zhou family could stay in the ancestral tomb, and at the same time, it also provided more power for the city god. Because of your presence, the situation in Huixiang has changed very quickly. If you don't kill that guide......"

Wu Ling looked at me, "The people of Huixiang will gradually find that worshipping the City God Temple will no longer be useful. The guide will probably deliberately create a few haunted events later on, completely changing the minds of the locals. I don't know exactly what he's going to do...... It may be to make yourself another city god, or it may be to make yourself a god of death or a ghost. He probably won't tie himself to some of the existing consensus, and he'll come up with another name, as he tells you, 'The Guide'. In this way, you can also avoid being influenced by the ideas generated by those consensuses, and make rules completely according to your own ideas to guide people to generate ideas. He will have more power than ordinary ghosts. He will also make ordinary ghosts harder to kill. If you don't have a carrier, then no one else can directly destroy him except for the ability you have, and you can only slowly weaken his power by changing the minds of the locals. ”

"To do that, you have to put a lot of effort and risk running to his turf." Nangong Yao added.

When I heard this, I only felt a heavy heart, and I didn't feel a sense of happiness that I had eliminated the guide in advance.

Chen Xiaoqiu said: "What do you mean, the situation on Mother Zheng's body is similar to that of the guide?" ”

Wu Ling replied, "The situation on her body should be said to be similar to the situation of the ghosts in Huixiang. The ghost who wanted to turn herself into a spirit was not her. There's a little bit of something we haven't figured out. However, except for the special ability of that Yu Chuanfeng, this is the most likely situation to occur and the most in line with the current situation. The only problem is ......"

Wu Ling frowned slightly, "We haven't figured out how he did it." Nangong and I are not natives of Minqing, but Ye Qing, Liu Miao, and Mushroom are all of them, so you should be too, right? ”

Guo Yujie nodded and answered Wu Ling's question.

"Do you think of Minqing City, which is in line with this situation...... Is there some kind of consensus among the people of Minqing? Wu Ling asked.

"What consensus? The ghost comes to cook? Corpse stew? The thin man asked suspiciously.

Wu Ling's fingers tapped on the tabletop, "Here's the problem. You don't have this kind of consensus, and it doesn't qualify for the birth of the Spirit. If he hadn't formed a spirit, he would have influenced so many people purely by his own power - using hallucinations to make people unable to detect the abnormality of the dishes, and manipulating people's consciousness so that people could not feel the abnormality of his body - then he should be a particularly powerful ghost, and it would be possible to call it the strongest ghost of all time. It doesn't make sense. Xuanqing Zhenren has turned over almost all the history books, and there is no famous person in history with ...... This obsession dies. Nangong also checked Minqing's death records, but did not find any suspicious targets. And the only thing he has done so far is ...... Didn't create a spirit, didn't even want to create a spirit......"

"So, he's a big pervert who likes to 'poison' people's food?" The thin man let out an incomprehensible exclamation.

Addendum 40.

I would have liked to use the word "poison in"......(:3"∠)_

Good night everyone~
